Dunkirk. Again.

Dunkirk.

We need
another one.

A cultural Dunkirk this time
around. To save Western culture, traditions, and the Judeo-Christian work ethic.
They are everywhere under sustained attack. Literally and figuratively. Terror
attacks in London, Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Barcelona, Nice, Orlando, San
Bernardino, New York, Boston, Madrid, Sweden, Finland, et. al., haven’t roused
us from our moral slumber.

Historic
statues and monuments are being vandalized, toppled or removed on a daily basis
in the United States. Christian organizations that have threatened no one- and
brought succor to many- are labeled “hate groups.” Success is ridiculed or only
thought possible because of ruthless exploitation or cheating. Vice is
subsidized as achievement is punished. Fewer and fewer successful workers are
paying for more and more who don’t work…and are yet being branded as greedy, or
reviled for not “paying their fair share,” even as they shoulder this burden.
People who want to build a wall or otherwise get control of illegal immigration
are labeled as crazy bigots, yet those, such as “Madonna,” who talks about
having thought long and often about “blowing up the White House” are seen as
hip, and courageous members of the “resistance.”

Anyone
with any kink is not satisfied with just getting on with it, they are fiercely,
publicly in your face and “proud.” Universities are stocking tampons in men’s bathrooms…if they even have
them…men’s bathrooms, that is…because, if a woman says she’s a man, who’s to
contradict him even though he still requires feminine hygiene
products?

“Pull yourself up by your own
bootstraps” was the mantra in the past. Now it’s, “Somebody else should be
bleeping obligated to pay for my
contraception- or abortion.” Yeah, because they
are responsible for yourbehavior. Unbelievable. (Well, would
that it were).

Those
who still smoke cigarettes are considered irredeemable louts, even as marijuana
use, with its vastly more numerous and deadly side-affects is being legitimized
and legalized. In fact, cigarette smoking now requires its own movie and
television warning, as opposed to say, depictions of incest or talk of
abortion.

It is obvious that we more
traditional types in “flyover country” don’t have the will or the numbers to
seriously fight back against those who would see us wiped out. Let’s face it: Atlas has been mugged. So gather on the
beachhead all ye’ boring, old, hard-working rubes, and send out an SOS…though to
whom I don’t know. Where will we go? I don’t know that, either.

An Ode To Life

Appreciate all you have, as it- and you- will soon be gone. Leave no heartfelt words unspoken, no sweet gesture incomplete, no act of love undone. Love your spouse with passion and abandon, your kids with patience and understanding but also a firm guidance. Love also the truth, no matter how hard. If pursued by enough people with enough courage, it really will set us free.

And don't forget, we didn't ask to be born. We didn't create ourselves. We are not gods. There is a higher power.

Write It Up

Whence Shall Come Another?

True Then, True Now

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."- Winston Churchill

Time Well Wasted

The power lies within your hands To do with what you may But the hourglass is filled with sands Of endless yesterdays
